Vegetation-driven shifts in soil microbial communities and predicted carbon-cycling potential across soil depths in High-Arctic islands

Abstract Background Arctic ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented warming, driving vegetation expansion into previously barren areas. Although Arctic greening is expected to alter biogeochemical cycles, how vegetation cover shapes soil microbial communities and their functiona...

Year-Round High-Resolution Sea Ice Freeboard Retrieval Using ICESat-2 ATL03 Photon Data

Abstract. Arctic sea ice freeboard is critical for estimating ice thickness and characterizing surface morphology, yet it remains poorly constrained, especially during the melt season due to limitations in conventional altimetry products. The ICESat-2 ATL07 product retrieves surf...
